SECTION 2

Setting Trim Length

The Case Trim Xpress is supplied with 10

different bushings covering a wide range

of popular bottleneck cases. Additional

bushings can be purchased for calibers

that are not covered by the supplied

bushings. Please refer to the bushing

chart on back for caliber information and

part numbers.

1. Select the proper bushing for the caliber you are trimming. Unthread the

bushing cap (pic 3). Under the bushing

cap you will find a compression spring,

this spring must be installed in order for

the trimmer to function correctly.

2. Place the bushing into the adjuster barrel

as shown (pic 4) with the bushing num-

ber facing you. Reinstall the bushing

cap and tighten.

3. Locate the Cutting Depth Adjustment

wheel (pic 5). Each white graduation

mark represents .001” increments.

Turning the adjustment

wheel clockwise will

DECREASE your cut-

ting depth (less material

removed). Turning the

adjustment counter-clock-

wise will INCREASE your cutting depth (more material removed). A viewing

window is located at the top of the adjustment wheel housing, this window

will allow the user to view the graduation marks to ensure a proper setting.

4. Measure a case to be trimmed, making

note of the untrimmed length. (pic 6)
